Carlos Alcaraz, the 21-year-old Spanish tennis sensation, extended his winning streak to 11 matches at Roland Garros, home to both the Paris Olympics tennis competition and the French Open title he clinched last month. Despite this feat, Alcaraz emphasizes his vulnerability on the court, acknowledging that no match is a guaranteed win.

On Thursday, Alcaraz became the youngest male player since Novak Djokovic in 2008 to reach the singles semifinals at the Summer Games, defeating the U.S.'s Tommy Paul 6-3, 7-6 (7) at Court Philippe Chatrier. This marks another milestone in Alcaraz's burgeoning career, which already includes four Grand Slam titles and a history of record-breaking accomplishments.

As Alcaraz prepares to face Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime next, he continues to attract attention and admiration from both fans and fellow players. His match against Paul was a high-tension affair, culminating in a crowd-pleasing tiebreaker. With Spain's queen in attendance, the young athlete further solidified his status as a formidable force in tennis.
